This beautiful shot of
virga (precipitation which evaporates before reaching the ground) falling
from an altocumulus deck was submitted by Mr. Reginald Flippin, Cooperative
Observer in Amelia, VA. The photo was taken by his friend, Mr. Charles
W. Jackson in mid-January, 1996 in Burlington, NC.

These photos were taken
in the Ghent section of Norfolk, during and after the infamous hailstorm
of May 1, 1997.

This next series of photos
was taken by Mr. Hugh Cobb, Wakefield NWSO's Science Operations Officer
outside his Suffolk, VA home following the ice storm of February 2, 1996.

These photos were taken
by Mr. Hugh Cobb in the Ghent section of Norfolk (on the Hague) during
the first of our now famous twin Nor'easter's. The date and time was January
28, 1998 at approximately 4:30 p.m. This was about one hour AFTER
LOW tide. The water level at this particular time was approximately 4.5
feet above MLLW (Mean Lower Low Water). The highest recorded tide from
these two storms was 7.1 feet above MLLW and occurred at approximately
4:00 a.m. on February 5, 1998. This was the was the highest tide recorded
since the Ash Wednesday Storm of March 8, 1962.

The following photos were taken
by Mr. John C. Roberts, one of our SKYWARN Storm Spotters from the
city of Virginia Beach. The photos were taken at 6:00 PM on Thursday April
9, 1998 just hours after a severe thunderstorm moved through the Lynnhaven
section of Virginia Beach. The photos show extensive damage to a warehouse
structure which included a collapsed wall...cinder blocks thrown 75-100
feet from their origins and peeled tin roofing material.

The weak (F0 scale) tornado moved
along a path which extended from the Riverwalk section of the city of Chesapeake
east-northeastwrad through the Greenbrier section of that city and into
the city of Virginia Beach along a Kempsville-Rosemont-Lynnhaven axis.
This tornado marked the 6th confirmed tornado within the Wakefield County
Warning Area in 1998.
